Herpes itch

Couls itching be the only symptom of genital herpes?
Does it itch without lesions or sores.
Would initial outbreak last 4 months?
I haven't had any sores or rashes, just an itch for 4 months. Help

Most likely a dermatitis or possibly yeast/bacterial infection. As mdmd stated, herpes won't cause itching for 4 months.

No. An outbreak would never last 4 months.

You usually have an outbreak, if ever betwen 4-14 days after contact, and that last s upto 2 weeks then heals. Go to the doctor about the itch, it isnt herpes.
